Inspired by Ogata Kōrin’s iconic “Irises” folding screens (circa 1701–1705), this work reimagines the Rinpa master’s radical decorative minimalism through the lens of Pephistory. The scene preserves Kōrin’s unmistakable gold-leaf ground and his rhythmic alternation of indigo petals and sharp green blades, creating a flat yet immersive field of pattern and repetition. Here, however, a solitary Pepe figure dressed in Edo-period attire wanders through the towering stands of irises. His small, contemplative presence introduces narrative where Kōrin sought pure design, transforming the classical seasonal motif into a quiet journey of introspection. The contrast between the monumental florals and Pepe’s humble scale echoes the Rinpa school’s interest in poetic suggestion, while adding a gently humorous, contemporary twist that bridges centuries of visual culture.
